The Poltorak style of mead is made with minimal amounts of water and well aged. In the Gronowy they used grape juice in place of the water. The color is a deep deep amber and part of that color must come from the years it spent in oak. The aroma is sweet with grape up front and a floral honey in the back. The flavor is of vanilla and grape with a profoundly rich smooth caramel / honey finish. There is a light tartness in there as well as some tannins but it is the thick honey character that is the main focus of this exceptional mead. With the big sweetness, thick body and 16%, one would drink this like a port wine that is 3 or 4 ounces at a time and sipped slowly. If you are a fan of the Apis Jadwiga (also a poltorak) this is a must try.
 
Matt-

Thanks for the heads up - I just put in an order for this one and a few others.

Thanks for stocking such great meads! :cheers:
 
is there distributor for NYC or NY or NJ? I'd love to get my hands on a bottle or two.
